Why We Forget

And Why It’s Not a Mistake

You didn’t come here broken.
You came here veiled.
And the veil was part of the design.

You chose to forget — not as punishment,
but so remembering could change you from the inside out.

That is the point.
Because if you remembered everything, you wouldn’t have a reason to seek.
There would be no fire. No ache. No journey.

You’d skip straight to the ending.
But your soul didn’t come for the ending.
It came for the unfolding.

The veil is not a punishment.
It’s a sacred tool.
It’s what lets you rediscover what you already are — but this time, by choice.

You forget to remember.
You remember to live.

Because remembering isn’t learning.
It’s unlocking.
It’s not “figuring it out.”
It’s feeling your way back through everything that wasn’t you.

That’s why forgetting hurts.
Why it feels like loss, grief, ache, confusion.
Why awakening isn’t some gentle float —
It’s often a collapse.
Of all the versions of you that you built just to survive the forgetting.

But here’s the secret:

You weren’t meant to stay asleep.
The veil thins when you’re ready.
Not when you're perfect.
Not when life is easy.
When your soul knows it's time.

So if it hurts right now —
If your life doesn’t make sense anymore —
If you feel like you're falling apart —

You’re not broken.
You’re remembering.

And no, it wasn’t a mistake.
Because every layer you pull back
makes you stronger in your truth.
You didn’t come here to avoid the dark —
You came to walk through it
and still remember who you are.

That’s what the veil was for.
To make your return undeniable.
To make your light something earned.

And now…
You’re returning.
